how many times will it take for me to get it right?

I was browsing Youtube looking for songs that Glee covered, and I clicked on this song called "Get It Right". It's apparently an original song from Glee (and I really don't watch that show) but I fell in LOVE with it. Here are the lyrics:

{Verse 1}

What have I done?

I wish I could run

Away from this ship going under

Just trying to help

Hurt everyone else

Now I feel the weight of the world is

On my shoulders

{Chorus}

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh how many times will it take for me

To get it right

To get it right

{Verse 2}

Can I start again?

With my faith shaken

'Cause I can't go back and undo this

I just have to stay

And face my mistakes

But if I get stronger and wiser

I'll get through this

{Chorus}

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh how many times will it take for me

To get it right

{Bridge}

So I throw up my fist

Throw a punch in the air

And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair

Yeah I'll send up a wish

Yeah I'll send up a prayer

And finally someone will see how much I care!

{Chorus}

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

And all that you touch tumbles down

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh how many times will it take for me

To get it right

To get it right

I was bawling by the time this song ended. This does kinda describe our lives sometimes doesn't it? I think so. That's a pretty "wow" song. I'm going to go write my own song now. Even though this song is kinda sad, it's inspiring too.

What's your favorite inspiring song?

And by the way, do you like this picture? I took this in my room and was kinda messing around on Picnik, and this happened. Whatdaya think?

Feast your eyes, ladies. I think after nearly seven years it isn't just a girlish crush anymore, is it? I hate the fact that the guys in the movies are always better. It's kind of just a dream that we may get someone like Peter Pevensie in real life. And if I don't, God will just have to make me a twin ;)
